Title

Handshake after election, 1936

Description

Two men shake hands in front of a Stuart storefront after the election of Florida Governor Fred P. Cone. The men appear to be standing on the corner of Flagler Avenue, possibly in front of the Theodore Dehon & Son real estate & insurance storefront. The man on the left pushed George W. Parks, Sr. (front right) in a wheelbarrow to settle a bet he lost about the election for governor.
